Buyer’s Inspection Service was easy to schedule, extremely professional and provided a very thorough and easy-to-read inspection report of our new home!

Fantastic people to work with! They treated us very fairly when we asked them to stop the inspection early. Used them twice and will use again.

Using David, three times now, in my new home search, David is awesome. His final documents are very detailed and useful in negotiating any fixes. I have dealt with David on a personal level and he is a gentleman on the job and off. A great person that has a great deal of experience.

We loved Buyer's Inspection Service so much, we used them twice! They made an great impression off the bat, answering the phone immediately and being able to schedule us the very next day! The first time we had David, and he was absolutely amazing. He's very experienced with older, historic homes, which was a great bonus, since the home we were looking at was 100 years old. David was so thorough, and so good at explaining everything to us. He took the fact that we have a young child (and another on the way!) into consideration, and pointed out any and all issues that could be a safety concern for young ones. He even made the critically important discovery that the roof was past it's prime and needed to be replaced, when the listing had falsely said that the roof was brand new! He got up on the roof twice, just to make sure. He was absolutely right, and the listing information turned out to have several errors that we had to confront the listing agent about. In the end, he helped us decide that the first house we made an offer on was not a good fit for our family. The second time around we had Erick, who was equally wonderful. We ended up moving forward with our purchase of that house thanks to his thorough, reassuring work! Can't recommend this company highly enough!

Buyers inspection service (David) inspected two different existing properties for me in my quest to find a new home in Ohio. On the first one he saved me a lot of headaches, heart aches and money. The second one was in much better shape but he was no less tenacious in ensuring that the property I was buying was everything it was supposed to be and there were no issues with construction, mechanicals or utilities. David was a pleasure to work with and very patient in his explanation of issues that were found. Between David and two excellent realtors my experience of selling my home in Colorado moving across country and buying a new home was made much easier. I feel very blessed and I have a home that I can enjoy for many many years into the future. Thank you David Evelena and Emma.

They gave an extensive report, however, failed to identify visible asbestos tiles in the laundry room. This miss prevented further inspection before closing. We went to replace flooring and were informed asbestos tiles were everywhere underneath the carpet. This miss allowed the sellers to report “no asbestos” on their disclosure form...and left us with thousands of dollars in abatement fees.

Wow! Just got the inspection report back from Erick. So glad we hired an inspector, but especially glad we hired Buyer's Inspection Service. Erick was very detailed and knowledgeable, and the report gave specific instructions to the builder. He took the time to go through the report line by line.I feel like I have a true advocate on our side as we go through the building process. We look forward to using them for all phases of the construction process. Thank you!

My husband and I had a home inspected by David, and when we didn't end up buying that house, choosing Buyer's Inspection Service again for the next residence was a no-brainer. David provided us with thorough, informative inspections; I feel confident that he did everything he could to investigate the properties. He communicated promptly and professionally, and answered all of our questions. I would definitely recommend Buyer's Inspection Service.

Excellent service and company. Our real estate agent arranged the home inspection. Ryan was our inspector. He was excellent in every way -- professional, patient with our questions, helpful, thorough, very good at explaining his findings. The renters had turned the power off, so Ryan had to come twice. He was able to come back as soon as the power was on -- we met him there again and asked additional questions about fixes to the house he competently and helpfully answered.I don't have any real experience with home inspections, so I can't give a comparison except to say friends of mine have had inspections, and from their reports, Ryan and Buyer's Inspection Service were very thorough. The report was 30 pages with pictures and superimposed arrows and the notation was very clear and easy to follow. Ryan was very forthright about the limits of the inspection process (e.g., the HVAC would short cycle, but he let us know that a specialist would need to do a more thorough test). The trustworthiness and the clear competency of Ryan and Buyer's Inspection gave us the confidence and understanding about the house we needed to close. Much appreciated.Highly recommend.

This was the most amazing experience. we used them for a pre- selling inspection of our home and for an inspection of a home we purchased. We had Erik the whole day. He was so kind and respectful to my kids, me and my husband. It felt like we had another friend over for the day trying to help us out/ give advice and make sure we did everything we could to get our house ready and fix the one we were in the process of purchasing. I have seen a few inspectors over the years but by far this was the most through and educational experience i have ever had. they were worth every penny.

We were under contract on a gorgeous house in Tipp City and had an inspection done by Eric. He was very thorough, soooo thorough. And because of an excellent job well done, we ended up not buying the house due to all the issues he had uncovered. We highly recommend this company and ask for Eric!

We were extremely pleased with Erick's thoroughness, knowledge, and professionalism. We have had homes inspected by other inspectors who were less expensive, but have learned that you get what you pay for. Erick found things I'm sure that other inspectors would have missed because he took his time and obviously cared that as his clients we would have the necessary information about the home's true condition. After the inspection, Erick graciously took my call and spent the necessary time to explain his findings (which he also explained to my brother who was on-site). Ultimately, it wasn't the right house, but as the search continues, we will certainly use Buyer's Inspection Service again.

Buyer’s Inspection Service is the best! I’ve had the pleasure to use this company twice for home inspections and have had both Ryan and David as inspectors. These guys are incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful. I had so many questions for both of them and they answered each one. Both Ryan and David went above and beyond at each inspection. If you are purchasing a home and want the best look no further and call Buyers Inspection Service for your home inspection.
Mark Evans

Based upon seven prior home inspections, Buyer’s Inspection Service was by far the best in overall quality and detailed reporting provided on the property. I definitely recommend them!

Erick did a fantastic job inspecting for us. I didn’t realize how much was actually involved in a home inspection until I saw it first hand. There is a lot! Everything was explained very well and we learned quite a few things in the process. Most importantly, the report we received was extremely thorough and we were able to use it to negotiate a much better deal in the end. Thank you!

We received excellent service. The inspection was very thorough. Our report was easy to understand and had a break down of items that needed to be repaired down the line and items that required immediate remediation. David, our inspector explained everything to us and showed us information in great detail. We would definitely use them again.

Ryan was a great inspector and knows his stuff. Super nice guy! He spent several hours going through our new build and let us know of any issues he thought needed attention. We were quickly sent a report afterwards with pictures and detailed descriptions of the issues he found. Great inspector and company and gave us peace of mind.

Very professional inspection service. The inspector took the time to answer all of my questions and go over items that he noted needed to be corrected. This was the second time I have used this company. They stay up to date with certifications and continuing education. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional inspector.Update: we used them for a basement consult and Ryan provided valuable insight in regards to our specific concerns. He answered all of our questions and was genuinely interested in helping us out. Highly recommend these folks.

We are buying our first home and were advised from multiple loved ones to get the best inspector we could find. I noticed on their website that they blog informational posts about home owning, things that can go wrong and other resources. I was impressed by their passion for what they do and saw their inspection included many more things, and they offered more additional "add ons". On the day, the guys were so friendly, and being a woman, I thought I would be treated like someone who doesn't know anything about houses and doesn't want to. I followed them around and they showed me things and taught me about what they were looking or listening for, I learned so much but they were also personable and took all my questions cheerfully. When I wasn't following them, they would come get me and show me relevant things. The final report was incredibly detailed with pictures and arrows and a MUST fix list. Turns out the house was a money pit, although the inspection was more expensive than I would have liked, the money is nothing compared to the tens of thousands it would have cost us if we moved in without knowing what lied beneath the fresh paint and carpet.

We recently bought a house, and before our signing we were recommended by a friend to have Ryan White from Buyer's Inspection Service to come and do a thorough check. Ryan was nothing short of awesome. He was on time, courteous, and detailed.We were able to follow Ryan around while he inspected the house and he was able to give more detailed explanations of anything he found while answering any questions we had.We are not familiar with pre-sale inspection pricing, but the services provided by Buyer's Inspection Service are probably on the high end of it. However, this is not without good reason. When buying a house you don't want someone to come and tell you it's a good house and there is nothing wrong with it. You need, both for negotiating and for insight into future repairs, to know every little thing that is wrong with the house. It is much better to know that you will have to spend $2k on redoing an electrical issue at the sale of the house than find out afterwards.For this reason, we believe the extra money spent on a very thorough inspection is well worth it, and Ryan White at Buyer's Inspection Service is an excellent choice for this reason.

Professional, detailed, and organized! David was absolutely outstanding. He attention to the details will save you money in both the short term and long term. The smallest imperfection or observance is never too small for David. Very clean - in and out with absolutely no hint that he was ever there. Super friendly, had some funny stories to share! During these turbulent times he was very conscientious of COVID, respecting social distancing and wearing a mask.There a lot of choices out there for a home inspector but I promise you he is the best one in the area! Do yourself a favor and grab this expert for all your home inspection needs!

We contacted Buyer's Inspection Service to inspect a house we wanted to purchase. They were able to fit us in on short notice and very thoroughly inspected the house. Dave explained what he was seeing and why various items did or did not need repair while we went. The provided report is very detailed and will be of use to us after the purchase of the house. I highly recommend Buyer's Inspection Service if you need a house inspected prior to purchase!

Buyer's was recommended to me by my realtor. I contacted them via phone. I requested a home inspection of a home I was purchasing. However, during the call the customer service professional offered termite and radon inspections as addon services. I took her up on the offer and was glad I did.Radon was found in the house. My realtor wasn't aware of the importance of having the radon test performed. Now, the realtor will recommend this type of inspection to other clients.David came out and inspected the property. He was personable, respectful and professional. He patiently answered my questions with interest and knowledge.Scheduling was good. I was under a time constraint and the customer serv. pro helped me out. This was a good experience. I would recommend this business for your home inspection needs.

Truly excellent in every single way. We had Dave as our inspector when we were in the process of purchasing our 100+ year old home. Dave knows and loves old houses, which is a huge benefit because he knows what MUST be fixed and what is "nice" to fix, and his inspection clearly documents these fine details. He gave AMAZING service, top notch inspection, took time to explain findings to me (I am a novice), and immediately printed out his findings (with pics!) in a handy binder with information about how to keep my home in best condition. His inspection actually saved us quite a lot of money as we were able to negotiate the seller down almost $10,000 dollars based on his findings. We have lived in our house almost a year now and his inspection was accurate to everything we have seen in the home. We have also used Buyer's Inspection Service FAQ Recommended Vendors page quite a lot while we are making repairs on our home and we have never been disappointed in the businesses recommended. Buyer's Inspection Service is a gem!

Here are some key observations from my experience, that should help other buyers in their decision making process:1) David is a highly skilled inspector, who is very thorough and efficient with the inspection time.2) David communicates all of the important points of his inspection in a manner that can be understood by either a novice an experienced DIYer (I am the latter). This is important, because most inspection reports come back with a lot of items, and this can be very overwhelming to the buyer. David was also able to describe both verbally and on paper the items that were the most important to address.3) Buyer's Inspection Service can perform most or all of the desired inspections for a pending home purchase. This was a very important factor for us - out of 5 different quotes I received, they were the only ones that could perform or source all of these: home inspection, well pressure/flow inspection, radon, and termite. All of the others either had significant additional charges, or altogether could not help me get them done (which would have required scheduling several other individual inspections).4) Focus on key services - David looked at structural, safety, and functional items, in a very detailed manner. There was no "fluff", just the stuff I really cared about, including smaller items like a poorly fastened attic access ladder. Other inspection services included things that I didn't care about (thermal/IR scan of the home, etc.), with no option to remove those to bring down the price.5) Price-competitive - this was hands down the best bang-for-your-buck inspection I could get, which surprised me, honestly. I have participated in other less thorough inspections that were more expensive on a square-foot and extra options basis.Summing up - you can't go wrong with these guys. I was blown away with the quantitative aspects (the actual inspection, report, supporting pictures, etc.) and the qualitative aspects (professionalism, personality, and COVID protocols). You won't be disappointed!

I can't say enough good things about Buyers Inspection!!!

We used Buyer's Inspection Service for a pre-purchase home inspection. David Roche, a true professional, was fantastic to work with and we'd recommend to anyone looking for a home inspection to use BIS. He was knowledgeable and thorough allowing us the peace of mind and all the facts possible to make a solid decision about the property we were under contract on.I'm sure there are less expensive inspection services but with Mr. Roche's experience and knowledge we saved ourselves thousands of dollars and could make an incredibly well-informed decision on such an important investment.This is exactly the kind of business realtors would hire when purchasing property for themselves but would rather not have you show up with when investigating one of their listings. A+ service and professionalism. Extremely thorough.

The new home has been under the care of a conscientious, highly skilled homeowner - and even he was surprised by a few of Ryan's discoveries! It is without reservation that I recommend Buyer's Inspection Service.

Ryan was very precessional and he did a very thorough job. Ryan explained his steps and what items stood out that needed minor and major attention. He also told me I could call him if I had any questions and or concerns later on down the line. I’d recommend Ryan to anybody looking to have a home inspection.

My husband and I used Buyers for our home we were buying. Ryan did an awesome job! He was thorough and made sure we understood issues that we needed fixed in the house, there was pictures included with every issue. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a home inspection.

Ryan and the team are top notch, very professional and did an outstanding job.
We built a new house and had it inspected during construction to give us the confidence that we were getting a good product from the builder. We then had a final inspection at the end of the build that also helped us develop a punch list for the builder to complete before closing on the home.
Money well spent and it gave us the confidence that our "forever" home is as perfect as we had hoped.

I used Buyer's inspection service as a home buyer. David was personable and extremely thorough. He identified a major structural issue which allowed me to move on to another property. This inspection allowed me to make an informed decision in the home buying process and choose a house that I was comfortable with calling my home. I would highly recommend this company.

Ryan White is agreat, he saved a lot of money on house. He found two gas leaks, and mold in the basement. We got out of the contact and we were able to find a better home for us.Again we used Ryan to check the home. Buyer’s Inpection Service helped us find the perfect home.

We worked with Dave and we're very happy with our inspection. He was thorough and answered all the questions we had.

Very professional, very thorough. Inspector walked me through and showed me every issue he found. Seller was dishonest on disclosures and refused to fix anything, but I’m confident I know all of the issues with this property because of the thorough inspection provided by Buyer’s Inspection Service. I highly recommend!!

Our experience with Buyer's Inspection Service was outstanding! David, the inspector, explained everything so thoroughly and in terms we could understand.

David was VERY thorough and communicative. He exceeded all my expectations and really made me feel comfortable moving forward with our home. As a first time home buyer, it’s important to get an inspector who takes the time to not only inspect every inch of the home, but explain things. 10/10 would recommend!

I found this company to be very professional and efficient.Their service was excellent. Ryan did our inspection for us and as we found him to be very efficient at his job and pleasant to work with.He explained everything to us when he was finished, offered suggestions regarding the work that should be done. We were given a notebook when he was finished to take home and look over which was very helpful. We definitely would recommend this company to anyone needing a home inspection and feel they would be very pleased with the service.
Thank you, Ann and Cal Hites.

My wife and I are thoroughly pleased with Buyer's Inspection Service. Our inspector was thorough and extremely knowledgeable. We have used him twice in our home buying process and will be recommending him to everyone we know that requires inspection service. As new home buyers, it's good to know the ins and outs of the home we are buying, and David made sure to show us everything we needed to know about our future home. We appreciate all that this company has done for us!

The best home inspection group hands down. Seriously, look no further for a home inspector. David Roche was thorough, friendly, answered all our questions, explained everything we didn't understand, and provided a binder with detailed descriptions of everything the same day of the inspection. My father, a general contractor, was present during Mr. Roche's inspection and said he was very impressed. My father is a HUGE stickler for competence/ details, so that's saying a lot. Look no further, hire these folks.

We have been trying to buy a house in a seller's market since February. Through an unusual series of events we ended up getting the first house we looked at. David did the inspection and was not only thorough, but courteous and professional. He pointed out everything that we needed to know, Patiently explained what had to been done, and answered all of our questions. He left no corner unexplored. We highly reccomend him and this company.

Great experience throughout with Buyer's Inspection Service. Got a call right after my realtor booked the inspection to set everything else in motion. Ryan did the inspection on the house I'm buying and was very thorough. As a first time home buyer it was nice to have someone explain things to me and take the time to show me each issue that he saw. I would definitely recommend using Buyer's Inspection Service and Ryan White as your inspector.

David was amazing, he performed an inspection prior to listing my home, is was so thorough, and his report was extremely detailed, very useful when making the necessary repairs before listing. Then, David inspected the home I was buying and I felt so confident in his skills I just new that if there was something wrong with my new home that David was going to find it! David went totally above and beyond the normal call of duty, even speaking to a nervous home buyer in order to reassure them that there were no major flaws in the home. I would NEVER use anyone else for this service! Thank you so much, David!

David performed an inspection on a potential house I was interested in back in early November, the thorough process that he took to investigate each and every section of the house was amazing and very comforting knowing that I was getting the best inspection possible and would receive the most detailed report possible outlining all of the good and potential flaws of the house. It was with this very detailed inspection and reporting process that I was able to make a more conscientious decision during the home buying process. Thanks to David I now own the house that he inspected and feel very comfortable a month into owning the house based on the report he provided. I would highly, and I mean highly, recommend Buyer's Inspection Service, especially David, to inspect your next potential home. His attention to detail is second to none! Don't search anywhere else when you need your next Home Inspection!!!

A good friend of mine referred us to Buyer's Inspection Service for our first home purchase. From the kind gentleman who helped book the inspection to the inspector, David, who came through and completed the inspection- every single step of the way was handled professionally and with the highest standards. An extremely detailed description of every piece of the inspection with color photos attached was provided on the spot and placed into an easy to read binder for our keeping. All I can say is WOW. 10 out of 10!

David inspected a condo that we were interested in for our daughter's family. Thanks to David, he found MANY problems that were not visible at first glance. With his help we were able to eliminate this prospect and find a new site which we asked him to inspect. He was thorough, helpful, and clearly steered us in the right direction. Without his guidance we might have purchased a potential nightmare which we would have had to live with and make repairs later. Thank you David for a great job!

This company was great to work with! They promptly scheduled our inspection, provided a detailed list of things that needed immediate attention versus things that can be done at a later time, and then provided us with a physical and electronic copy of the report. Ryan was extremely professional and took the time to answer all of our questions.
Jane Van Maldeghem

I used David to inspect my first home four years ago when I moved to Dayton. He was thorough and explained everything to me when I had questions. It was a no brainer to use him again now, four years later on the purchase of my second home! The service was awesome, I was present during the inspection and he is so detailed, and the paperwork is easy to understand. We Recommend this service.

We recently used Buyer's Inspection Service for the second time for home inspection services. About 5 years ago David inspected our current home. He was very thorough and detailed in his inspection and identified some importatnt issues that we were able get resolved before taking ownership of the home. Last week, Ryan inspected our new home and I was surprised by the level of detail involved in his inspection as he spent about 4 hrs pouring over our property. On both occasions, we felt comfortable that Buyer's Inspection Services had our best interest in mind, and our interactions with them have been handled with the utmost integrity. If you want a home inspection done right, this is a great company to look at.

David inspected a home I am thinking about buying in Centerville. He is extremely knowledgeable about home repairs and he pointed out several issues with the home that need to be addressed immediately. He is very meticulous about noting every repair of the house in a detailed, easy to read report . He is very helpful and courteous. Also, arranging a date and time for the inspection was a simple process. I highly recommend the Buyer's Inspection Service! -Linda

As an experienced Realtor, I find it very easy to recommend this company. The attention to detail, willingness to answer questions, the way they present issues to my clients and explain whether they found a defect or teach them it's a maintenance item is so valuable. One of the few inspectors licensed in every direction! Behind every good realtor is a great inspector and this is mine! Worth every penny!
Bobby Moore

The inspection we got on our house was very detailed, to the point that I used it as a thorough 'to do' list when I was fixing it up. Buyer's inspection service was a pleasure to work with and found several items of concern we would have otherwise missed.

We were relocating to Columbus from Chicago and had a very tight timeline to find and purchase a home. We wanted to purchase a very old home but were hesitant about future repair cost. David from Buyer’s home inspection came highly recommended as an older home expert. He knew everything! He pointed out repairs for our closing ‘punch list’ as well a future issue that may arise. He went through every inch of our home and literally ‘crawled through’ sections. Giving us piece of mind and leverage to negotiate the house cost. Thank you so much!
Liz Cossett Myers

David inspected a home I was considering purchasing in 2007. I thought I had done a pretty thorough inspection myself but missed many things that would be expensive to repair and were potentially dangerous. The detail of the inspection and the easily understood summary were very valuable. Due to the inspection, not only were necessary repairs made prior to the purchase, but I was able to negotiate a better price. Without the repairs and price reduction, the appraisal may not have been adequate for the loan needed. I would definitely use them again. Great value.

We purchased a house we knew to be a 'fixer upper' in 2014. While there were projects that were obvious, there were many we were not aware of until we had Buyer's Inspection Service do a thorough inspection. The report was incredibly detailed and brought to our attention several smaller items that may have become bigger problems if we did not address them right away. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Buyer's to anyone purchasing a home.

My furnace has a switch on the front panel it’s covered by a clear rubber cover you can push it in and hit the switch is that the disconnect switch?
Have never seen one like that, usually that clear cover is seen on “all electric heating systems” with heater coils and they would be breakers, which could then be used as a disconnect.
